Who will you blame for the delay in the payroll tax cut?

The House on Tuesday rejected a plan backed by President Barack Obama that would have extended a payroll tax cut and jobless benefits for two months. The move raises the stakes in a holiday season clash that seems likely to result in a lapse in a tax cut. House Republicans controlling the chamber want instead immediate negotiations on a year-long plan with the Senate — where the top Democrat again ruled out talks until the House passes the stopgap measure. If Congress doesn’t pass a bill by the end of the year, payroll taxes will go up by 2 percentage points for 160 million workers on Jan. 1. Almost 2 million people could lose unemployment benefits in January as well, and doctors would bear big cuts in Medicare payments.

The GOP led House. Let's keep the money in our pockets, not in Washington.

The Democrats in the Senate. Why must we have a series of short deals instead of a longer plan?
